    Our Chickens and Goats are friends.

    Just thought I'd share his video of all of us hanging out last night. Our goats and chickens are separated most of the time, but they do seem to enjoy some time together every now and then.

    Rooster to Hen Ratio

    Thanks for your input! That is good to hear. I will continue to watch them closely. As of now, I’m not yet seeing any behavior too concerning or any reason to separate, but they are still young.

    Any Silkie experts /breeders out there? 16 weeks old.. Roo or Pullet? I especially need help with Blanche and Maddy. Quite sure Jorday is a pullet.

    These are close in age to my Silkies. I have two that have begun crowing, so I assume I have at least two cockerels. I am also hoping they will continue to get along.

    Rooster to Hen Ratio

    Thank you all for the replies. I appreciate all of the help. I am watching them closely now and don't see any aggressive behavior. (Granted, they are still young.) This coop and run was a big (expensive) project for me that I absolutely loved, but I don't know that I would want to build...

    First Coop and Run Build

    Thanks, Sally! Yes, I plan to leave the walls open in the summer. You are right, its very well ventilated and probably wouldn't get extremely hot, but I may go with the opaque roof just in case. The wind really isn't too bad as there are trees breaking the wind about 10 yards away (the trees...

    First Coop and Run Build

    Thank you so much! I have been concerned about the heat with a clear roof. There will be shade under the coop itself, but that may not be enough room, so an opaque roof may be the better option. The clear plastic border around the bottom is a good idea too. I am going to work on that this...

    Rooster to Hen Ratio

    Hey everyone, I recently built a coop and run (pictures included so you can see the size) and got a mixture of 7 bantam chicks. They are almost three months old now. Two have begun crowing, so I know I have at least two roosters. I assume 5 hens is not enough for 2 roosters. Based on my coop...

    First Coop and Run Build

    Hey everyone! My dad and I recently built my first coop and run. We built it over 3 or 4 Saturdays when he could drive down and help and I have been basically constantly working on it since. Well actually, I acquired and reused the coop and we built a run around it. We have no experience...
